[Hiring] Dietitian Health Coach @Best10

Role Description

As a dietitian health coach, you will serve as the backbone of our client experience. Your primary responsibility will be to ensure every client feels supported, empowered and on track to achieve their weight loss goals. You’ll interact virtually with clients, combining technical expertise with a personalised touch. You will:

• Manage a caseload of clients through our CRM and WhatsApp-integrated communication system.
• Support clients on medically supported weight loss journeys and coordinate nutritional management alongside their prescribed treatment and doctor.
• Write or create personalised, motivational client content grounded in evidence.
• Track client progress and adjust guidance accordingly.
• Remember what matters to your clients by using our note-taking platform.
• Guide clients through real clinical complexity: weight management alongside hypertension, cardiovascular disease, pre-diabetes and diabetes.

This role demands high-touch, high-volume, clinically grounded coaching. Bring as much organisation as you bring empathy.

Qualifications

• BSc in Dietetics or BDietetics (4 years study + 1 year community service)
• Current HPCSA registration as an independent practising dietitian
• A passion for all things health and fitness

Requirements

• Experience in medical weight loss or obesity pharmacotherapy (preferred but not required)
• Experience or training in behaviour change, particularly technology-mediated coaching (preferred but not required)
• Experience managing overweight, obesity and related chronic conditions (hypertension, CVD, pre-diabetes, diabetes) (preferred but not required)
• You communicate consistently and warmly, even when a client goes quiet
• You hold structure and empathy at once
• You work independently and sustain momentum without daily oversight
• Routine energises you rather than drains you

Benefits

• Competitive salary
• We fully fund your SCOPE certification (World Obesity Federation) as part of onboarding
• We cover HPCSA registration fees (applicable at renewal time)
• In-house CPD point initiatives
• The chance to shape medical weight loss from the ground floor as we build out this offering
• A Vitality partnership that connects your work to one of South Africa's most established wellness ecosystems
• A genuinely collaborative team of dietitians, not a solo remote role
• A company culture built around shared wins, not just individual targets

Company Description

We've guided over 20,000 people to transform their relationship with food and their health and we're targeting 100,000 over the next five years. We're expanding into medically supported weight loss, which pairs pharmacotherapy with structured nutritional management. We’re looking for empathetic and clinically-minded dietitians ready to lead that shift.

If you believe nutrition science only works when you deliver it with genuine human connection and medical weight loss excites you, we’d love to chat!
